Many people lose rights because of simple mistakes that could have been avoided. Here are the most common ones — and how to avoid them.
Common mistakes
- Not submitting documents — one missing document can hold up the whole process
- Insufficient medical documentation — without medical records it is very hard to prove the injury
- Missing deadlines — there are strict filing deadlines that must be met
- Arriving at committees unprepared — a committee without preparation can damage the outcome
- Giving up too early — many people stop after a first refusal, not knowing an appeal is possible
- Playing down the severity — saying “I manage” to the committee damages your entitlement
💡 Worth knowing
A first refusal from the National Insurance Institute is not the end of the road. There is a right of appeal, and in many cases the appeal ends with a better outcome.
What to do after a refusal
- Check the deadline for filing an appeal
- Collect further documents
- Prepare a reasoned appeal
- File it on time
